Flow chart of WeChat application for electronic social security card

Insured persons can apply for an electronic social security card on WeChat through the following processes:

1. Open the WeChat APP and click Me-Payment-City Service;

2. Click on the electronic social security card and select the insured city;

3. Click "Add Now" and enter the payment password.

If WeChat does not complete the real-name authentication, the insured person needs to bind the bank card to complete the real-name authentication first, and the electronic social security card can only be obtained after the real-name authentication is completed. Therefore, the insured without real-name authentication needs to confirm the identity information according to the page prompts and authorize the binding card. After the card binding is completed, the insured person can complete the real-name authentication and receive the electronic social security card.

At present, after receiving the electronic social security card, the insured person can use the electronic social security card to inquire about his own social security payment details, and can also use the electronic social security card to pay the medicine fee in the pharmacy.

Social security card and medical insurance card are not the same card. Their functions are different. The medical insurance card can only be used for medical reimbursement and inquiry, and the social security card can be used for other types of insurance besides medical insurance. At the same time, the role of social security card is wider than that of medical insurance card, which covers the role of medical insurance card and has functions that medical insurance card does not have. Patients can use it to enjoy old-age care, medical insurance and so on.
